Slugs and snails and puppy dog tails

My first day with my little cousins was awesome! We started our day at 4:45am! Bright and early :) The highlights of my day were:

• Finding a slug in the garden and watch it slug around the pic-nick table. In Winnipeg there aren't many slugs so the girls were captivated by this baby slug for quite a while.
• Katarina (who is not phased by bugs or worms ) picking up a big earth worm and muttering "Gross" under her breath when her fingers sank into its big mushy body.
• Katarina bringing Mireille and I daisies that she found in the grass and then Sophia bringing us a handful of mud as a present :) It totally shows the personality of the two little girls.
• Sophia sitting in the middle of the living room, wearing a metal bucket over her head and singing to herself while her head was still inside the bucket.
• Once the two little girls were in bed, spending half an hour with Auntie Mireille and talking. We could have talked all night but we knew the girls would be up bright and early again this morning. They sure were. It started all over again at 4:45am :)
